Re: All connections to Velop are on the 2.4ghz band?

The default when you set it up is that it's multi-band but you can seprate them out as noted above. I get a massive number of internet drops when I use the multi-band setup allowing use of the 5Ghz band for device connections, so separating them out and only using 2.4 has improved the stability of my 6 node system (but, of course, I'm missing out enormously on the speed of 5Ghz).

A workaround to bypass this behaviour is to have separate SSIDs' and passwords for the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. Then on devices where you don't want them to ever to fast transfer to the 2.4Ghz get them to forget\remove the saved 2.4Ghz network.

Re: All connections to Velop are on the 2.4ghz band?

I have just installed Linksys Velop with two nodes. Everything is running on 2.4 and have weak signals. My security cameras require the 2.4 system. How do I tell the computers to use the 5 system. I could go into the wifi settings and add a 5 next to the wifi name on the 5 GHz band. But when I do that I get the following error message. "Velop combines bands to act as one network. To enjoy seamless roaming, connect mobile devices to each Wifi name once. Are you sure?" I am not sure I should do this, but it would solve my problem as I could log my devices that do not require 2.4 into the 5 GHz wifi. I just dumped my xfinity modem as the signal was horrible. I bought a Netgear CM500V Cable modem for Internet & Voice. Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance . . .

Re: All connections to Velop are on the 2.4ghz band?

I can see all of my DHCP by going to Connectivity > Local Network > DHCP Reservations. I don't have any DHCP Reservations, but I can see the IP addresses for all of my items that are connected. By the way, I did make the 5GHz visible by adding the 5 to the name. I have all our computers on the 5GHz and our security cameras on the 2.4GHz. Everything seems to be working fine.

Re: All connections to Velop are on the 2.4ghz band?

+1 the suggestion about offering the ability to select specfic bands for individual devices.

I just bought the Etekcity Smart Plug which requires 2.4 Ghz. After splitting the SSIDs to set it up, I rejoined the mesh network it kicks the plug offline. It would be great to associate some devices with a specific band to avoid issues like this.
